I stopped trying to win arguments

and started choosing calm instead:

That one change did more for my life
than any clever reply ever did.

When emotions spike, the goal is simple.
Protect your peace.

Most reactions feel urgent.
Very few are important.

Here is the reframe that
changed everything for me.

🧠 Slow the moment down
-- Pause before you speak.
-- Ask what you are really reacting to.
-- Space weakens the story.

 🎯 Choose your response
-- You do not owe speed.
-- Silence is not weakness.
-- Energy is expensive. Spend it wisely.

🔄 Shift the frame
-- Ask what this is actually about.
-- Look for another explanation.
-- Heat fades. Logic lasts.

🌿 What helps right now
-- Breathe once.
-- Mirror what you heard.
-- Slow your pace.
-- Hold one calm thought.
-- Let the wave pass.

❌ What I stopped doing
-- Over-defending.
-- Blaming myself.
-- Replaying the moment.
-- Trying to win.

✅ What I started doing
-- Pausing on purpose.
-- Responding with care.
-- Protecting my peace.
-- Moving forward.

💬 Lines I keep ready
-- “I need a moment.”
-- “Let’s pause here.”
-- “I’m not ready yet.”
-- “Let’s focus on the issue.”
-- “I want to solve this.”

Try this today 👇
• Delay one reply.
• Ask one clarifying question.
• Let one comment pass.
• Choose calm once.
  
You cannot control others.

But you can always control your response.

That is real power.

Your leadership style isn't wrong,

It's just not understood:

There’s no perfect way to lead,
but there is a smart way to know yourself.

Every leader has strengths,
every style has risks.

What matters is knowing yours:

🔴 Red brings bold energy
But can burn out or miss other voices

🔵 Blue stays calm under pressure
But may seem cold or slow

🟢 Green builds trust and support
But may avoid conflict or hard calls

🟡 Yellow brings ideas and energy
But may struggle with rules or follow-through

🟣 Purple sees the big picture
But may miss details or daily needs

🟠 Orange drives action
But may push too hard or wear out

You don’t need to change your color,
just learn how to lead with it.

Use my sheet to find your style
and lead with more clarity.

You lead better when you know who you are.

Because power comes from clarity, not control.

The most successful people I know?

They're kind on purpose:

Not when it is easy.

Not when it is convenient.

They choose it.

And that choice compounds.

Here is what I have learned.

Kindness is not random.

It is built in layers.

Miss the first layer and nothing above it holds.

1️⃣ Level 1 is the foundation to set it all up.

• Show up on time
• Help without being asked
• Respect space and time
• Look people in the eye
• Say thank you and mean it

This is how trust starts.

Not vision.
Not values.
Behavior.

2️⃣ Level 2 is how you show up for people.

• Listen without fixing
• Praise specifics, not fluff
• Give credit in public
• Show patience under stress
• Speak well when they are absent

This is how safety is built.

People relax.
Ideas show up.
Energy changes.

3️⃣ Level 3 is leadership under pressure.

• Invite quieter voices in
• Stay calm when stakes are high
• Admit mistakes fast
• Protect time and boundaries
• Make hard talks feel human

This is how culture forms.

Not from slogans.

From moments.

Kindness only scales when the base is real.

If it is fake, people feel it.

If it is real, they copy it.

🟧 Try one small move today, such as:

• Thank one person by name
• Ask someone quiet what they think
• Pause before reacting
• Defend someone not present
• Help someone log off on time

Kindness is not soft.

It is practiced strength.

And top performers practice it daily.

I learned this the hard way, 

Strategy breaks in the middle:

Right where things feel busy
but nothing really moves.

I used to think strategy was one big idea.

It’s not.

It’s a chain.

And most teams snap it without noticing.

Let me show you how I see it now.

⚪ Layer 1: Think clearly
This is where most mistakes begin.
• Notice real patterns
• Question what feels obvious
• Use data, not vibes
• Assume change is coming

No clear thinking here
means bad choices later.

🔵 Layer 2: Choose wisely
Thinking without action is just noise.
• Gather what matters
• Decide
• Review fast
• Adjust without ego

Speed plus reflection wins.

🟣 Layer 3: Do the work
Ideas do not count here.
• Turn plans into steps
• Measure only what matters
• Test small
• Spend time where results show

Busy is not progress.

🟢 Layer 4: Execute and adapt
This is where teams feel pain.
• Remove blockers
• Lock in what works
• Re-align people and resources
• Keep everyone informed

Clarity lowers friction.

🔴 Layer 5: Track goals
If you do not track it
you cannot fix it.
• Set clear targets
• Watch progress weekly
• Cut the noise
• Improve fast

Simple beats clever.

🟠 Layers 6 & 7: Execute & Lead the direction
This is the multiplier.
• Create buy-in
• Say the why out loud
• Challenge old habits
• Correct course early

Leadership holds it all together.

Want to use this today?

Do this one thing:

• Pick one stuck decision
• Find the missing layer
• Fix that first

That’s it.

Strong strategy is not complex.

It’s connected.

And once you see the layers
you can’t unsee them.

I’ve seen smart leaders lose teams,

And it had nothing to do with IQ:

They didn’t fail from lack of skill.

They failed from using the wrong strength
at the wrong moment.

That’s the part no one teaches you.

Leadership is not picking IQ, EQ, or AQ.

It’s knowing when to switch.

Most leaders don’t switch.

They lean on what feels safe.

That’s where things break.

Here’s the simple frame I use:

🧠 IQ is how you think
• Learn fast
• Break problems down
• Find the answer

❤️ EQ is how you show up
• Read the room
• Build trust
• Handle tension without damage

⚡ AQ is how you stay steady
• Adapt under pressure
• Stay calm in chaos
• Keep moving when plans fall apart

Each one wins in different moments:

• IQ when the problem is complex
• EQ when emotions are involved
• AQ when things feel unstable

Each one also has a trap:

• IQ can overthink
• EQ can absorb too much
• AQ can move before thinking

This is where great leaders separate.

They don’t ask
“What am I good at?”

They ask
“What does this moment need?”

Try this this week:

• Learn one new skill on purpose 🧠
• Ask for real feedback and listen ❤️
• Do one uncomfortable thing anyway ⚡

Strong leadership is not being the smartest.

It’s being aware enough to switch gears.

That’s what people feel.

And that’s why they follow.

Most communication problems

are not word problems:

I learned this the hard way.

I said the right things
and still lost the room.

That is when it clicked.

People feel you
before they hear you.

Your body speaks first.
Your words just confirm it.

Small signals decide trust
in seconds.

Here is what actually matters.

🙂 Your face
-- Big reactions feel fake.
-- No reaction feels cold.
-- Subtle mirroring builds connection.

🎙️ Your voice
-- Flat loses attention.
-- Sharp creates tension.
-- Warm and steady creates safety.

🤲 Your hands
-- Hidden feels guarded.
-- Wild feels messy.
-- Open and calm builds trust.

📏 Your space
-- Too close feels pushy.
-- Too far feels distant.
-- Comfort keeps people engaged.

🧍 Your posture
-- Slouching closes you off.
-- Fidgeting shows doubt.
-- Standing tall signals calm confidence.

👂 Your listening
-- Phones break trust fast.
-- Forced nodding feels off.
-- Eye contact and pauses show respect.

Try this this week 👇
• Slow your movements.
• Lower your voice slightly.
• Keep hands visible.
• Give people space.
• Pause before replying.

You don't need better words.

You need your body to agree with them.

Use PIPs to build confidence— 

Not fear:

Most PIPs fail because 
they feel like punishment.

A good one should help 
people get better—

Not feel blamed.

Here’s how to make it work

1️⃣ Set clear goals
• Say what success looks like.
• Example: “Increase sales 15% in 3 months.”

2️⃣ Find the gaps
• See what’s missing between now and the goal.
• List what needs to change.

3️⃣ Focus on what matters
• Start with easy wins.
• Plan big projects next.
• Skip the stuff that wastes time.

4️⃣ Keep it moving
• Make a plan, try it, check results, fix it..
• Repeat.

To make any plan work:
🔹Be clear
🔹Involve people
🔹Set deadlines
🔹Track progress
🔹Celebrate wins

Use my sheet to start 
one that builds people up.

PIPs don’t have to be scary— 

They can be your most powerful 
tool for coaching, not correcting.

I used to think side hustles required big plans.

I was wrong:

Most people fail from waiting too long to start.

Here is the truth I learned the hard way.

If you can give 2+ focused hours a week,
you are already ahead of most people.

Not someday ready.

Ready now.

✴️ You are ready if this sounds like you:
• You want to earn extra each month
• You are tired of overthinking
• You can start messy
• You can ignore noise for short blocks
• You are willing to learn while moving

That is it. Nothing fancy.

Here is what actually works.

1️⃣ Set one clear target
- Write the dollar amount.
- Write the hours you will give.
- No goals without numbers.

2️⃣ Pick one simple offer
- One skill.
- One problem.
- One clear result.

3️⃣ Test it fast
- Talk to real people this week.
- Share one useful tip in public.

If no one reacts, adjust.
If they do, keep going.

4️⃣ Block small work windows
- Two short sessions per week is enough.
- Phone off. No multitasking.

5️⃣ Keep it honest
- Track what you earn.
- Do not stress about perfect setup yet.

Progress first. Polish later.

6️⃣ Build it for real
- Use one platform to build and sell.
- I use creatyl because it stays simple.

✴️ A few things most people miss:
- You do not need a big audience
- One skill is enough to start
- Clear offers beat clever ideas
- Small steps beat big plans

You do not need a huge plan.

You need clarity.

Consistency.

And the courage to start small.

Are you ready for a side hustle?

If you feel tired all the time,

This might be why:

I used to think I was low on motivation.

I was wrong.

I was leaking energy all day
and calling it “being busy.”

You and I are not running on one tank.

We’re running on five.

When one drains,
the others try to cover for it.

That works for a while.

Then the crash shows up.

Here’s what most people miss:

🟣 Mental energy
-- Too many tabs open equals quiet exhaustion.

🔵 Emotional energy
-- Unfelt feelings do not disappear.
-- They pile up.

🟠 Physical energy
-- No movement equals slow burnout.

🔴 Social energy
-- Some people refill you.
-- Some quietly empty you.

🟢 Spiritual energy
-- When meaning fades, effort feels heavy.

Balance is not doing everything evenly.

Balance is noticing what is low
before everything breaks.

Here is a reset that actually works:

💼 At work
• Do one thing.
• Finish it.
• Pause on purpose.

 🏚️At home
• Lower the noise.
• Move your body a little.

👥 With people
• Spend time where energy returns.

✨ With purpose
• Remember why today matters.

Energy is not fixed.

It is guided.

Stop pushing through.

Start paying attention.

Most strategies fail before work even starts.

This is what my team and I are doing:

I see it all the time.

Teams dive into action.

They launch meetings and tasks.

They make slides.

But the real confusion hides in the plan.

If you can’t explain your strategy in one
clear sentence, you don’t
have a strategy yet.

Good strategy is simple thinking
that guides every choice you make.

Here’s what I mean:

🧭 Direction
• Where are you actually going
• Why that destination matters
• Do all voices see it the same way

If people explain it differently,
you are not aligned yet.

🔍 Reality check
• What is working right now
• What is not making progress
• What moves results the most

This is data over opinion.
This is truth over optimism.

🎯 Choices
• Pick a few clear goals
• Decide what matters most
• Measure only what helps you decide

Fewer priorities means more progress.

🛠 Plan the work
• Break goals into steps
• Assign someone accountable
• Remove work that does not fit

No clutter.
More clarity.
More impact.

📊 Check and adjust
• Review progress weekly
• Track a few key numbers
• Change quickly when needed

This is how decisions get better.
Not later. Now.

⚖️ Keep balance
• Watch money, customers, teams
• Listen to feedback early
• Improve with each cycle

Strategy is not a once and done plan.

It’s a pattern of clarity before action.

How is your strategic planning looking for 2026?

Ranked #1 Female Creator on LinkedIn | Founder of The Quiet Rich™ | Ex-Google | Forthcoming Author | Follow me for daily life hacks

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this could happen in 3 years...

In 2023, I had 1k LinkedIn followers (and a ton of imposter syndrome).

I only saw male writers in the personal growth niche.
I didn't know if there was room for a voice like mine. 
I doubted whether anyone would be interested in my life hacks.

But I started writing.

3 years later, I:

➤ Grew from 1,000 to 1 million+ social followers
➤ Was featured in Forbes and Business Insider
➤ Landed a major book deal with a top publisher! 🥹
➤ Received daily invitations to be a guest on a podcast
➤ Left my full-time role as a leader at Google to work for myself
➤ Launched The Quiet Rich™, which already has 250,000+ subscribers
➤ Met dozens of bestselling authors who I’m now grateful to call good friends
➤ Ranked #1 Productivity creator and #1 Female LinkedIn Creator in the world (Favikon)
➤ Personally coached 1,000+ CEOs, founders, authors, industry experts, and thought leaders

A LOT can happen in a few years, my friends.
Start something now that you’ll thank yourself for.

I'm deeply grateful for every. single. person. who has enjoyed a bit of my writing.
You are what makes this path meaningful.

Personal interests: riding motorcycles, scuba diving, tennis, skiing, meditation, boxing, lifestyle design, sailing, reading an absurd number of non-fiction books.

Jade Bonacolta

In 10 years, we’ll wonder where the time went.

3 things I do to make my time feel richer:

——

1) Pretend it's "the last time."

We rarely know when we're doing something for the last time. The last dinner at a restaurant. The last call with that person.

If we did know that, we’d probably act differently in those moments.

Maybe we’d be more present there.
Maybe we’d tell them how much they mean to us.

——

2) "Be where your feet are."

↳ Whenever I catch myself worrying about things in the past or future for too long, I say that out loud.
↳ Take a second. Try to feel your feet on the floor. The weight of the phone in your hand. These small, tactile reminders yank us back to now.

——

3) Notice micro-moments of joy.

↳ The first sip of a great coffee. An unexpected text from a friend. A deep laugh with your partner. A 15-minute walk in some crisp fall air.

↳ Train your brain to celebrate these tiny moments. 

Life isn't lived in the 2% of big milestones 
(e.g., wedding days, job promotions). 

It's lived in the 98% of tiny moments between them.

——

We’re all flipping our pages too quickly
trying to get to the "good" part…
5pm, the weekend, the holidays.

But by the time we get there, it's over so soon.

“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.” —Kurt Vonnegut

♻️ Repost to spread some kindness today.
☕️ Follow me (Jade Bonacolta) for daily tips to build a quietly rich life.

Everyone you admire has a coach.

3 reasons why it's not worth "figuring it out" alone:

——

1. They Remove Your Blind Spots

A good coach sees what you can't.

You have blind spots. (We all do.) Patterns of thinking that keep you stuck in the same place, making the same mistakes.

The right coach will spot these instantly, saving you YEARS of trial and error. 

——

2. They Shrink Your Timeline

Why spend 10 years figuring out what someone else already knows? 

A good coach collapses time. 
They've already made the mistakes you're about to make.

So they can easily point out the stepping stones to reach your goal faster.

——

3. They Keep You Accountable

At the start of any new project, we overestimate our discipline. 
(And we underestimate our excuses.)

A coach creates accountability for the work that actually moves the needle. 
Not just the work that "feels" productive.

——

The price of coaching seems high—
until you consider the cost of staying where you are.

Send this to a coach or mentor who changed your life. 🙌

——

P.S. If you want to grow your brand on LinkedIn, you could struggle for years to figure it out alone. Or you could learn it all in a few hours of coaching.

Today is the final day to join Archimedes. 
Doors are closing—you coming in?

Ben, Colby, and I can't wait to meet everyone next week!

Your 30s aren't about doing more. 
They're about doing less of what doesn't matter.
Which one of these resonated most with you?

☕️ Send this to someone who will appreciate it
➕ Follow me (Jade Bonacolta) for daily posts about personal growth

Peace in your 30s looks like:

Every expert was once a beginner.

There is no 100th without a clumsy 1st:

Your first try won't be perfect.
We accept this as kids, but forget it as adults.

When we try something new 
and aren’t immediately good, 
we quit forever.

See the problem?
That perfectionist mindset kills our potential.

You don't need to get things perfect on your first try.
(If you do get them perfect, you’ve probably waited too long to start.)

Start now. Start messy. Start tired. Start scared.

Someone with less experience than you is living the life you want—simply because they were okay being mediocre at first.

Don’t let fear trick you into a boring life.

——

Plot twist: I almost didn’t start posting on LinkedIn 3 years ago.

I worried what people might think.
I cringed at the idea of sounding influencer-y.
A little voice in my mind said I had nothing “interesting” to say.

If I had listened, I would’ve missed out on:
• Growing from 1,000 → 1 million+ followers across social media in 3 years
• Ranking as LinkedIn’s #1 productivity creator & #1 female creator
• Getting featured in Forbes and Business Insider (twice)
• Signing a major book deal with my dream publisher
• Leaving my career at Google to work for myself

That didn’t happen by accident.
It came from applying a system that actually works.

That’s why Ben Meer and I built Archimedes with Colby Kultgen.
Our program has helped 1,000+ of LinkedIn’s fastest-growing creators.
Our next cohort starts January 26th. You in?

I hope to meet you on our Welcome Call in a few weeks. 🙌

Making someone feel heard is a superpower. 

3 tips for deep listening:

1. Ask at least two questions before giving your opinion.

2. Repeat back something they said.
↳ "I love that you mentioned [x]."

3. Put away distractions. (Laptop closed. Phone out of sight.)

We're so quick to fill silence with our own stories, advice, solutions. But the people who've made me feel most understood? They just... listened.

Not planning their response. Not checking their phone. Just present.

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." — Maya Angelou

Share this to help more people feel heard.

☕️ New here? I'm Jade Bonacolta, founder of The Quiet Rich. Follow to join 1 million readers across social who want a quiet mind & a rich life.

Most people design their lives backwards:

They struggle through 5 days to live for 2.
They count down to a single week of vacation.
They dream about retirement… 20 years from now.

But if you need frequent escapes, you've built the wrong thing.

——
 
3 ways to build a life you don’t need to escape from:

1. Audit your energy, not your time

For one week, I tracked what gave me energy vs. what drained it.
Not what was "productive" or "important." Just energy in, energy out.

I logged everything in Notion — and Notion Agent surfaced patterns I couldn’t see, like how back-to-back calls before lunch tanked my afternoon focus.

The insights were immediate.
I didn't need to change my job.
I needed to change my calendar.

——

2. Identify one non-negotiable” habit

What’s the one thing that, if done daily, makes the rest of your week easier?

For me, it’s posting on LinkedIn each morning. 
Not because it’s easy — 
but because it makes everything else in my business easier.

Clients discover me. Sponsors reach out to me. DMs with interesting opportunities land in my inbox. I attract instead of chase.

But I used to post inconsistently. 
My ideas were scattered across five tools.

So I asked Notion Agent:

 “Take all my writing drafts, reading highlights, and voice notes from the past 6 months. Organize them into a single content database with tags and themes.”

It built the structure, filled it in, and gave me a repeatable system.

——

3. Design your ideal Tuesday

Forget the “perfect day.”
What would make a random Tuesday feel worth looking forward to?

Here’s mine:

– Deep work from 9–11am
– A phone-free walk at 2pm
– Learn something new before dinner with friends

Nothing extreme. Nothing Instagram-worthy.
I could even do this while working a full-time job at Google. 

I told Notion Agent:
 “My best work happens from 9–11am, and I like to walk from 2–2:30pm. Scan my calendar for the next month. Flag anything booked during those times, check if it’s moveable, and draft messages to reschedule.”

When your average day is good, 
weekends become a bonus instead of compensation.

The difference between dreamers and builders:

Dreamers hope for better habits.
Builders design an environment that makes them inevitable.

Notion is the home for builders in 2026. 
A place where people don’t just imagine the year they want, but build it.

And they get more done thanks to Notion Agent.

The #1 secret to achieve your career dreams:

I woke up to the best text:

"Guess what! I just got a $40k contract from someone who has been seeing my LinkedIn content over the past few months."

Let me tell you about Dr. Heather Maietta. 🙌

She's a career + executive coach for mid to senior-level professionals.

• But her LinkedIn wasn't capturing the full value of her expertise
• She was posting sporadically (about 2x per week), mostly sharing others' content
• And her posts were barely reaching beyond her immediate network (averaging 10 likes and 1-2 comments)

——

A few months later, she has transformed her LinkedIn presence completely:

➟ Grew from 1,300 to 52,000 engaged followers!
➟ Landed multiple high-value clients (including that $40k contract)
➟ Launched a successful newsletter

It's not about the numbers. It's about her IMPACT.

Her posts now attract ambitious professionals making significant career pivots in their 40s and 50s. (The exact people who need her expertise in leadership, emotional intelligence, and career transformation.)

THAT'S the power of building your brand on LinkedIn.

So, what changed?

Heather got her LinkedIn strategies from Archimedes. (The most exclusive 
members club for LinkedIn thought leaders)

I knew Heather would be an immediate fit in this club because:
• She has deep expertise in her field
• She writes about topics our members value (like leadership, emotional intelligence, personal growth, the future of work, entrepreneurship)
• Her business could easily be scaled through LinkedIn techniques
• And she's genuinely passionate about helping others succeed.
